The processor is equipped with a helicoidal spiral tub (2). A special telescopic arm (24) mounted on the central shaft of the tub allows the material to be developed to pass through the tanks that make up the tub. The arm is L-shaped and the material to be developed that passes from one tank to the other is placed on the other wing (26) or section. A series of material holders by way of flexible parts (31, 31a) with grooves or recesses are mounted on this wing, with these parts opposite each other and the grooves receiving the material to be developed, either on plates or on films. The tanks are connected to units which heat, fill, control and drain them. The cabinet that encloses the processor has a hinged box (52) that occupies the intake for the machine and is provided with an inlet with a sheath provided with access for the operator's hands.
